What's New: Photoshop desktop app
Selection Improvements
The Object Selection Tool is even better at detecting and making selections of sky, water, natural ground, plants, and architecture than before. It's as easy as hover and click. For more information, see Make selections in your composites.
With this feature, you can easily remove objects as if they were never there. The selection is replaced with AI selected content from the image. (Works with other tools, too) For more information, see Make selections in your composites.
Invite to edit
Try the Invite to edit feature to share a link with others and collaborate. For more information, see Invite others to edit your cloud documents.
Photo Restoration Neural Filter (Beta Feature)
Restore old photos with the new AI powered Photo Restoration Neural filter. This filter helps improve contrast, enhance details, and remove scratches. For more information, see Neural Filters list and FAQ.
Create links, share a link to a web version of your work, manage feedback, and push updates as needed using the Share for review beta feature. Recipients do not need to sign in or sign up for anything. For more information, see Share files and comment in-app.
Content Credentials (Beta feature)
Content Credentials (Beta) is a developing feature in Adobe Photoshop. When enabled, it gathers the edits, activity, and attribution information associated with content in-progress. These details are captured as tamper-evident attribution and history data (called content credentials) that creators attach to the final content when exported. For more information, see Learn about Content Credentials.
Substance 3D materials in Photoshop
The Substance Photoshop plugin is an extension that allows Photoshop users to access and use Substance materials in their projects. They are similar to Photoshop patterns, but with controls for limitless variations and a more sophisticated workflow for editing and applying materials. For more information, see Substance 3D materials for Photoshop.
New Preference to improve selection stability (Windows only)
Photoshop introduced a new preference setting to improve the stability of the Object Selection tool, Select Subject, and Sky Replacement for Windows users with an NVidia GPU. For more information, see Preferences in Photoshop.
Support for Emoji Glyphs
With this release, we have removed the EmojiOne font from our bundled font set and replaced it with Noto Color Emoji SVG. When you open a legacy document containing a Type layer that uses EmojiOne, Noto Color Emoji SVG should be automatically activated and downloaded from the Adobe Fonts server. To learn more about working with Fonts, see Using Fonts in Photoshop
Updates to Cloud document version history
Recent additions include the ability to add a name and description to bookmarked versions, search for a specific version from the list of versions for that cloud document, and filter out versions based on the time they were created, marked status, etc.
For more information, see Manage and work with cloud documents in Photoshop.
Older GPU mode (Pre 2016) Technology Preview for Windows
Enable this feature if your graphics processing unit (GPU) is older than 2016 or does not support DirectX 12 or later, or if you experience performance instability. To learn more about the various Technology Previews and how to enable them, see Technology previews in Photoshop.
